# Lost Media Emulator

> Lost Media Emulator recreates authentic analog and "lost media" video looks — CRT, VHS, scanlines, halation, chromatic aberration, and film stocks like Super 8, Kodachrome and Technicolor — in real time. It runs as a native macOS app and as a Premiere Pro / After Effects extension. One-time purchase, no subscription.

## What makes it different
- One engine covers the whole analog path: capture format → tube/tape/film → display. Most tools do a single trick (VHS, or CRT, or grain); this stacks them in one pass.
- Effects are simulated from your image (tracking error, dropout, halation, phosphor bloom react to the footage) rather than textures laid on top.
- Two surfaces, one license: a standalone Mac app and an Adobe extension that grades non-destructively on your timeline.
- Bought once, owned for good. No subscription, no login to render, free updates within the major version.

## Products and pricing (one-time, USD, pre-tax; VAT added at checkout)
- Premiere Pro / After Effects extension — $39 — /premiere
- Mac app (standalone studio) — $49 — /mac
- Ultimate Bundle (both, one license) — $69, saves $19 versus buying apart — /bundle

## Scale
- 91 calibrated looks
- 97 independent controls across 9 signal families (optics, tube, tape, film, sensor, compression, and more)
- 50 capture formats × 21 displays = 1,050 capture/display combinations before you touch a control

## Requirements
- macOS 13 Ventura or later, Apple Silicon
- Premiere Pro / After Effects 2023 or later (for the extension)

## Who it's for
Filmmakers, video editors, colorists and motion designers who want real analog character, and analog-horror / found-footage creators who want convincing period looks.
